Configuration

You will have to open your operating system's command-line interface (CLI) in the folder where the executable is located.

Daemon

Run ./xelis_daemon --help to see all available options.

Network

Network selected by default is mainnet.
Available values are mainnet, testnet and dev.

Example: ./xelis_daemon --network testnet.

Boost Sync Mode

Boost sync mode is a faster way to sync the full blockchain. It is not enabled by default as it require more resources usage. It is requesting blocks during chain syncronization in parallel.

To enable it, use: ./xelis_daemon --allow-boost-sync.

Fast Sync Mode

Fast sync mode allows to have a faster syncronization by downloading the last chain state from any peer.
It allows to have a light node and with a really small disk usage as it's using only latest available data.

To enable it, use: ./xelis_daemon --allow-fast-sync.

Auto Pruning

Enable the auto prune mode and prune the chain at each new block by keeping at least N blocks before the top block. This is useful to keep a light node and to reduce the disk usage.

Example to keep only 1000 latest blocks: ./xelis_daemon --auto-prune-keep-n-blocks 1000.

Cache Size

Set the cache size by setting how many elements to keep in memory. Higher cache size will require more memory but can be useful for chain operations.

Default is set to 1024 elements. If you set it to 0, it will disable the cache and will not keep any.

Example to set the cache size to 1000: ./xelis_daemon --cache-size 1000.

Disable P2P Server

Disable the P2P server, this will disable the node to be connected to other nodes and will not be able to sync the chain or broadcast mined blocks.

To disable the P2P Server, use: ./xelis_daemon --disable-p2p-server.

P2p Bind Address

Set the bind address to use for the P2P server. By default, the bind address is set to 0.0.0.0:2125.

To set the bind address to 0.0.0.0:2126, use: ./xelis_daemon --p2p-bind-address 0.0.0.0:2126.

Max Peers

Set the maximum number of P2P peers to connect to.
By default, the maximum number of peers is set to 32.

To set the maximum number of peers to 64, use: ./xelis_daemon --max-peers 64.

Exclusive Nodes

Set the exclusive nodes to connect to. This will only connect to the given nodes and will not connect to any other nodes.
Each Socket Address must be separated by a comma.

Example to connect to two nodes: ./xelis_daemon --exclusive-nodes 0.0.0.0:2125,0.0.0.0:2126.

Priority Nodes

Set the priority nodes to connect to. This will connect to the given nodes first and then will connect to other nodes.
Connections to priority nodes will be also maintained in case of disconnection.
Each Socket Address must be separated by a comma.

Other nodes will still be connected to as long as the maximum number of peers is not reached.

Example to connect to two nodes: ./xelis_daemon --priority-nodes 0.0.0.0:2125,0.0.0.0:2126

Tag

Set the tag to use for the node. This is useful to identify the node in the network. Maximum length is 16 characters.

Example to set the tag to mytag: ./xelis_daemon --tag mytag.

Maximum Chain Response Size

Configure the maximum chain response size This is useful for low devices who want to reduce resources usage And for high-end devices who want to (or help others to) sync faster.

By default, the maximum chain response size is set to 4096.
Minimum value is 512 and maximum value is 16384.

This is used to notify others nodes about the maximum size of the chain response that you accept to receive / send per request. It can speedup the syncronization process by allowing to send more data at once.

Example to set the maximum chain response size to 8192: ./xelis_daemon --max-chain-response-size 8192.

Disable IP Sharing

Ask peers to not share our IP to others and/or through API.
This is useful for people that don't want that their IP is revealed in RPC API and/or shared to others nodes as a potential new peer to connect to.

By default, your IP is allowed to be shared across the network to others nodes.
To enable it, use: ./xelis_daemon --disable-ip-sharing.

Please note that it may prevent to have new incoming peers as your IP will not be shared to others.

Disable File Logging

Set the directory path to use for the database and the blockchain. By default, the directory path is set to the name of the network at the same location of the executable.

To set the directory path to mydir, use: ./xelis_daemon --dir-path mydir.

Simulator

Enable the simulator mode. This will disable the P2P server and will simulate the blockchain based on its variant. This will generate new blocks when necessary and will not connect to any other nodes.

Availables values are:

• blockchain: to simulate the blockchain with a new block every 15 seconds and up to 15 random transactions.
• blockdag: to simulate the blockdag with up to 3 new block every 15 seconds and up to 15 random transactions.
